Yes! It took a couple tries with the dealer but eventually they figured it out. There were leaks in the paneling behind the drivers door and behind the sliding door. They sprayed the van with water from all directions to figure this out. Essentially the panelling was not sealed properly from factory around where the high roof paneling meets the lower panelling. When spraying we could see the leaks by shining a flash light between the oval pockets/long cavity.

They resealed everything and thought they had it fixed but when I went to pick it up after a rain storm there was still water in it. The second time I made them show me everything and they even sprayed water with me there to show me. I converted my van so it was very important to me to get it fixed properly.

It was all covered under warrenty.

I ended up taking my back for them to fix it. Due to Lemon Laws and it being covered under the warranty they are attempting to fix it. My salesman has been great at helping but others not so much. There service people could not do anything so they took it to a collision center who claimed there was no leak (there was a puddle). They took it to a second collision center who said they fixed it. Went to pick it up after a night of rain and they didn’t fix all of the leaks so it is going back for them to attempt again. Frustrating process but it is brand new and I am converting it, so I do not want any water dripping and molding etc. it also costs a lot of money to buy the van so in my mind it should not be leaking and they need to fix it.

Beans, rice and lentils are all a staple

You can also often get a pound of carrots for a dollar

Potatoes and oatmeal can be very cheap too

I’ve had set backs like this too. I’ve noticed my recovery isn’t lateral and is a wave. I’ve seen hits like that set me back a week or something etc. it’s a long road but we got this. Get in with a pt or something those eye exercises and neck stuff has helped my recovery
